He's very cool overall. I am surprised the dragon head isn't open-mouthed though. Also a little sad no mention was made of Draego Man's weapons, but there's still hope they'll come with something else.

They could be secret accessories.

Dragon Blaster was my all time favorite as a child. I can not wait to get him. and the fact that he is coming with the final comic makes it evern better

NICE! Never been a huge fan of DB Skeletor - but he does look impressive. I would have prefered NA Skeletor though, oh well....:hmlol:

I'm a little teed off that as a subscriber, I didn't get this or the Mekaneck emails. And yes, I checked my spam folder.

Great looking figure!

Strange that they have the same wrong formatting in the email's headline. They should have fixed that after they made the same mistake in the Mekaneck sneak peak email.

Well, it was mentioned that he appears in the final mini-comic. So here he is.

It's nice. I just wish that Scott weren't so predictable. NA Skeketor would have been way more exciting.

The closed mouth on the Dragon is odd. It's mimicking the toy, but like Leech, it was only closed to accommodate the action feature. I'm surprised they didn't sculpt it like they sculpted Leech's head or Kobra Khan's head.

I hope the dragon can stand on his own.

I expected this reveal and am totally happy with it. Love the attention to detail, with the including of the Kobra Kahn arms and legs like the vintage.

Am getting quite annoyed with Mattel now, and I'm usually a sympathiser/apologist!!!

This is the 2nd sneak peek e-mail that I'm supposed to get being a subscriber, and the 2nd one I HAVE NOT RECIEVED!:skmad:

Add to that the cancellation of my Spector figure, and the automated responses when I try and find out why, and I've got to ask, what's the point of me subscribing if I don't get any of the benefits?

What a great surprise! Love the updated boots and forearms. Both are easy for purists to replace (unlike the Stinkor forearms). Great sculpt on the dragon backpack's head too! Couldn't be happier with this selection for the third quarter variant. :hmgrin:

Te figure is awesome!!
But...the dragon head is a bit off, it reminds me to "the mask" dog

DB Skeli has always been a favourite of mine, so I'm overly delighted to learn that he's coming this year already!!

Well done, Mattel!!

wow! that's just awesome! i asked on one of the questions-and-answers-rounds if they would use Kobra Khan's "reptile" buck for a toy accurate Dragon Blaster Skeletor (i don't know if they read it) - and here he is! a dream come true.

i just hope he has the normal torso (with belly) underneath, so i can use him as my default skeletor!

I don't like the dragon face.

YES PLEASE!

The Dragon head is a tad "off" but I am still blown away. Its DRAGON BLASTER SKELETOR. My TP He-Man is sooooo ready....

I feel the same. I was hoping the dragon would look like it did in the mini comic. Other than that - I <3 it!! :skgrin:

Super Thrilled to see DB Skeletor!! :skgrin: Only thing I'm not jazzed about is the dragon's mouth is a little 'toothy', but otherwise, the whole figure is pretty much perfect.

I wonder if the Dragon's tail being so far off the armor is meant to balance Skeletor so he won't fall backward?

The toy's mouth was V-shaped, which looks way more realistic than that square row of teeth
